Police arrived to find 34-year-old Larry Edwards on the platform “holding a large filet knife in his hands and yelling.” Edwards complied with an officer’s order to drop the weapon and no one was injured, police said.

Edwards had entered the station, jumped the turnstile and “produced a large knife and began waving it around in a menacing matter, threatening people and causing crowds to run in fear for their safety,” a CTA employee told police.

He is charged with reckless conduct, unlawful use of a weapon, and trespassing on CTA property.
